"All players?" Scola frowned slightly, he didn't believe this.
After all, there are many good players in the world, especially in places like the NBA. He only knows insiders like Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and O'Neal, Duncan Garnett, etc., who are all players with super abilities.
Can Lu Yu beat him from one to five?
Ginobili glanced at him: "Don't believe it?"
"Yes, I don't believe it." Scola said bluntly.
"You'll know when you stand on the court with him." Ginobili did not answer his question, but left the answer on the court for him to find the answer himself.
After all, he had witnessed Lu Yu's entire process from guard to power forward.
Although Scola played against Lu Yu at the World Championships last year, to be honest in that game, he felt confused about losing. He even felt that if Ginobili was on the court, they would not necessarily lose.
Following the notification from the staff, players from both sides of the Argentina team also left the locker room.
Argentina currently has one win and one loss, with 1 point. After losing to Spain in the last game, this game has become a game they must win. If they lose, they will directly send the Chinese team out. If they win, they will compete with the Chinese team.
The Spanish team also became a team with 2 points.
Whether it is to prevent the Chinese team from qualifying easily or for the team to lead the standings with 2 points, they must go all out to win this game.
They believe that after the previous two games, the tacit understanding between the team members has been greatly improved. Whether they narrowly defeated Serbia and Montenegro or lost to Spain, their performance was actually average in terms of state.
This is the third game, and the players' condition and physical strength have been adjusted to their best.
As for the Chinese team, physical strength has never been something that the Chinese team is good at. Especially in such an intensive schedule, it is a great test for the physical strength of the Chinese players.
However, after winning two games in a row, the Chinese media were obviously inflated. They believed that if the team could win Spain, it would naturally also be able to beat Argentina, which lost to Spain...
The Chinese team can beat the Spanish team, and the Spanish team beats the Argentine team, so if the substitution is equal... isn't it natural for the Chinese team to win against Argentina?
This is a beautiful thing that many media and fans think about. They are all waiting for the Chinese team to win and gain 3 points to qualify early.
But is this really the case?
Basketball games are not a math problem. In the NBA, there are often some teams with the best record in the league, but they happen to encounter a weak team that has repeatedly lost. This is the incompatibility of the lineup.
However, at last year's World Championships, Argentina lost to the Chinese team in the final. Psychologically, the Chinese team had the advantage.
Countless media poured into the stadium, including Chinese media and foreign media. Everyone was paying close attention to this game and wanted to see what the Chinese team, which had just won consecutive victories and became the biggest dark horse in the Olympic men's basketball competition, could do.
continue to win the game.
So this game created a strange situation where there were more reporters than spectators. In almost every corner there were people carefully preparing cameras or laptops!
For interviews before the game, only the CCTV Sports Channel reporting team can interview the players. This is a long-standing tradition.
Yu Jia wanted to interview Harris, but was rejected again. He looked at Lu Yu, and Lu Yu waved at him. Lu Yu didn't want to say too much in the interview with the national team. He just wanted to join the national team this time.
I'm playing ball and don't want to talk too much nonsense.
Yu Jia could only catch Yao Ming.
Yao Ming reluctantly said some polite words and made a few declarations, nothing more than saying that although the opponent is very strong, we will never give up.
Players from both sides went on the field to warm up. Scola stood on the other half of the court, looking at No. 10 on the opposite side from time to time. Lu Yu was not conspicuous among all the players, but even at that station, everyone knew this team.
The core is him.
This temperament may have been honed in NBA games.
Just like Jordan back then, even if he was standing in a place full of big players like the Dream Team, people would still involuntarily focus on him.
What's more, Lu Yu is only surrounded by his national team teammates.
In the entire stadium, Lu Yu is the most handsome kid!
At the end of the warm-up, the coaches of both sides said some words of encouragement. The tactics had been laid out before going on the field. At this time, it is more important to mobilize the players' condition.
The Chinese team's starting lineup is still Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan, Lu Yu and Liu Wei, while the Argentine team's starting lineup is Ginobili, Nocioni, Oberto, Volkovski and Montechea.
Lu Yu took a look at Ginobili specifically. He still looked cold and cold. Ginobili was completely opposite to Tony Parker. Ginobili was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He looked cold on the surface, but if he got along with him for a long time,
You will find that this man actually has a good heart. On the contrary, even though Parker looks like he is devoted and affectionate, he actually likes to hook up with other people's wives behind his back.
In Lu Yu's previous life, Parker and Eva were considered a talented and beautiful couple when they were together.
One is a powerful point guard who has won many honors in the NBA, and the other is a popular film and television star in the United States. However, this pair, regarded as a model couple, did not end up growing old together. In 2011, it was revealed that their marriage had changed.
.
The reason was that Parker had an affair in China and Eva couldn't bear it.
The most outrageous thing is that Parker cheated on the wife of his teammate Brent Barry at the time. The two usually had a good relationship in the team, but Parker was the first to get the upper hand. It seems that France has no friends and wives who cannot be bullied.
statement.
At that time, Parker's move destroyed the harmony of the team. The Spurs were defeated in the first round that year. There was a certain reason for Parker's incident.
Parker does appear to be kind on the surface, but in fact, he is a very scheming person.
Being abandoned by a former teammate is too selfish.
Spurs player Wu Sheng Jackson once revealed that Parker is a very selfish guy, and gave an example that in 2012, the Thunder reversed the Spurs and entered the finals because of Parker's selfishness.
In the sixth game, Jackson's touch was very hot. After he made 6 three-pointers, Parker stopped passing to him, which caused the team to lose and he lost a ring.
He also said that he was one of the players who thought Parker was selfish but dared to speak out. He also said that Parker liked to target him. Maybe Wu Sheng was not lying.
Compared to Parker, Lu Yu prefers Ginobili.
At the beginning of the game, both sides jumped the ball. Yao Ming once again lived up to expectations and easily passed the ball to Lu Yu.
Liu Wei took the ball from Lu Yu and stretched out his fingers to direct the players' movements. His expression was very serious. Harris had a lot of opinions on him in these two games. If it weren't for the high-position double between Lu Yu, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi,
The blocking tactic is only suitable for use at critical moments, and Harris has probably taken him out as a point guard long ago.
The two-day intensive schedule of the Olympic Games makes Harris afraid to use Lu Yu, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi. These three players have been executing high-intensity tactics, so the tactics they play more often will be simpler singles, pass, cut and coordination.
.
Wang Zhizhi pulled out to help Liu Wei in the pick-and-roll, and Yao Ming asked for the ball inside. Because Wang Zhizhi has a longer range, Wang Zhizhi usually does the pick-and-roll. Yao Ming does not have to come out to pick-and-roll, except for Lu Yu.
Liu Wei got rid of the player defending him through Wang Zhizhi's pick-and-roll. He glanced at Lu Yu's position. Lu Yu was followed tightly by Ginobili and had no chance to pass the ball. At this time, Nononi came to cover.
, Liu Wei suddenly made a layup and scored the first goal.
2:0, the Chinese team scored first, and the Chinese fans present cheered to cheer the Chinese team.
Sun Yiping in the broadcast room also praised Liu Wei: "Liu Wei played the ball beautifully. He used the pick-and-roll to get rid of the opponent's defense. Then when the opponent's defense was not in place, he suddenly changed speed for a layup and beat the opponent.
An unsteady foothold helped the Chinese team take the lead. Now it seems that the Chinese team members are playing with more confidence than before. Self-confidence is the most important component of becoming a strong team!"
While speaking, Ginobili had already received a pass from his teammate. Facing Lu Yu's defense, he also called for a screen. Then he dribbled the ball and cut to the three-point line, then shot from mid-range and made a hit!
…
Yao Ming stormed under the basket and scored two more points.
…
Noccioni and Oberto hit the ball in two consecutive rounds, and Argentina completed the lead at 7:4.
…
Lu Yu finally got rid of Ginobili's defense and successfully caught the basketball at a 45-degree angle. Without any hesitation, he immediately jumped into the air the moment he received the ball. He leaned back slightly, flicked his wrist, and the basketball was in the air.
A perfect arc was drawn in the air, and the basketball fell into the basket with a "swish" sound.
7:7 flat!
Ginobili shook his head helplessly.
Scola, who was sitting off the court, was stunned. He finally understood why Ginobili said that Lu Yu was the most difficult player to guard. After a few rounds, he could see clearly the nodes of Lu Yu's movements every time.
It can force the Argentine team's defensive formation to fluctuate, which means that the position where he runs every time is the weakest link in Argentina's defense. It's just because other players of the Chinese team failed to shoot accurately today that they didn't convert into points.
A player who can affect the opponent's defensive formation just by running without the ball can indeed be called the most difficult defender to defend.
What's more, Lu Yu also has a precise shooting hand and a breakthrough that has not been shown so far.
But it doesn't matter, their team has already made arrangements, and they will only have to wait for a while to see the results.
After that, the Chinese team missed several consecutive three-pointers, and Yao Ming received his second foul while defending Oberto. Harris had no choice but to replace Battle.
Lu Yu frowned slightly. Yao Ming left the field too early, which would disrupt the entire team's rotation.
Argentina, was it intentional?
That must be it!
From the very beginning, Oberto kept talking about Yao Ming, saying that he might not be good at basketball, but when it came to acting, it was passed down from generation to generation by the Argentinian movie stars. It was really no joke.
Now that Yao Ming is gone, this game will be even more difficult...
After Ginobili called a screen, he switched to Liu Wei to defend. He dribbled the ball and used his speed to overwhelm Liu Wei. Liu Wei himself is not a defender with good speed, and it is even more difficult to defend this Pampas Eagle.
Ginobili is a real star in the eyes of data analysis maniacs, a lost treasure whose popularity is far higher than that of many superstars. Indeed, Ginobili's per efficiency value is often among the top players in the same position.
The three are far higher than Carter, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen and other more famous guys.
In fact, during the same period, only Wade and Kobe have been higher than Ginobili in this data analysis.
Ginobili didn't use a fake move at all, he just used his speed to rush in. After rushing into the inside, Battle quickly straightened his arm, but Ginobili flicked his wrist and threw the ball to the other bottom corner.
, Oberto was already waiting there with his bow and arrow ready.
Li Nan, who originally wanted to shrink the inside line, immediately jumped out, but Oberto had already completed the shot.
Whoosh!
Hit!
Argentina took advantage of the time when Yao Ming was not on the court and constantly used breakthroughs to attack the Chinese team's penalty area. They made layups when they could and shot the ball outside when they couldn't, and quickly gained a 6-point lead.
All the reporters present turned their gazes and flashlights on Lu Yu who was standing on the field.
At this time, the only one who can bring the Chinese team out of the predicament is Lu Yu.
Sun Yiping also quickly said: "We need Lu Yu to step up. During the period when Yao Ming is not on the court, the core of the court should be handed over to Lu Yu. Maybe we will still have a hard time defensively, but we have to believe in Lu Yu."
His organizational and scoring abilities..."
Lu Yu wanted the ball, and after being screened, Ginobili took the initiative to ask for a defense change.
"Whoever wants to be the background board can do it...I have to take a rest..." Ginobili pursed his lips. Suddenly he saw Lu Yu who got the ball not far away and glanced at him, as if he saw through it at a glance.
His mind is average.
Lu Yu called another screen, and then... the defensive player was replaced by Ginobili again.
"..." Ginobili frowned slightly: "Is it interesting?"
Lu Yu glanced at him and said calmly: "Yes!"
Since you defeated Yao Ming, let me use up your energy...
Two minutes later, Ginobili looked to the sidelines.
"Coach, let me go, I'm tired..."
If Ginobili has a weakness, it must be his physical strength.
This is why he is called 20-minute Jordan.
Unknowingly, the two teams virtually completed a one-for-one exchange, but the score was still tight. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 22:22.
Lu Yu finally got time to rest. When he walked off the field, the whole audience saw a flash of lights, which made the players feel a little dazzled.
Sitting off the court, Lu Yu frowned slightly. In the past, one of him or Yao Ming would lead the bench in the second quarter. Now, for a long time in the second quarter, neither of them can play, and a full substitute will play.
line-up.
Lu Yu's eyes fell on Argentina's bench, where Delfino and Scola were sitting... Can his bench hold up?
